Final Expenses:

These can include funeral expenses, unpaid hospital bills, credit card balances or other debts, probate costs, or estate taxes. When you are evaluating your needs for life insurance, you should carefully consider your final expenses.

Fully Underwritten:

Life insurance plans which require some medical screening as part of the application process are referred to as fully underwritten plans. The screening frequently includes a paramedic exam to determine height, weight and blood pressure. A blood and/or urine analysis, along with other tests may also be conducted.

Premium:

The price you pay for your insurance coverage.

[back to top]

Rider:

An optional feature or coverage which you can add to your insurance plan (usually with an additional premium). For example, some life insurance policies offer accidental death riders which provide an additional benefit if death results from an accident.

Simplified Issue:

Simplified issue means that you don't have to complete a lengthy health questionnaire or get a physical to apply for coverage. Your answers to a few health questions will help us determine your eligibility.

Unit:

A unit of coverage corresponds to the life insurance benefit amount you can purchase, and it depends on age, gender and state. Please visit the Guaranteed Acceptance Life quote page to see benefit amounts and premiums available to you for up to 8 units of coverage.

Whole Life Insurance:

Whole life insurance offers coverage for a lifetime, your premiums do not increase over time, and your coverage builds cash value. You can borrow against this cash value by taking a policy loan. For people who want permanent protection, whole life insurance can be a good choice.

Two whole life products we offer are Guaranteed Acceptance Life and LifeChoice® (Simplified Issue Whole Life). After the first year of coverage these plans begin to accumulate cash value.
